Re: Looking for light, fresh scent that does not smell like soap

I've read petruccijc recommending New West for a long time. I couldn't find it in my city, but i saw it during a trip and tested it. I can't agree more with New West, fresh, elegant with some old school vibe that makes it stand out among the bunch of senseless fresh releases in the market.

Re: Looking for light, fresh scent that does not smell like soap

Redbeard, thanks so much. New West sounds interesting, but since you describe it as sweet, should I stay away from it since I am looking to purchase Rochas Man and A Men, since they are also sweet? Or would you say that they are different enough that I shouldn't worry about it?

Re: Looking for light, fresh scent that does not smell like soap

New West is a) a lot less sweet, and b) an entirely different category than those two...they're desserty/foody sweet spice scents and New West is a semi-sweet, sharp orange with herbs, and just a little aquatic component. (been a while since I've sniffed any of those 3!)

I'd say almost zero risk of reduncancy, although RM and A Men might be redundant with each other!
